While playing basketball one day with friends, Pangborn was visited by Doctor Stephen Strange who greeted him by noting his medical history. When Strange revealed who he was, Pangborn noted that Strange's assistant Billy had refused to allow Pangborn to see Strange as he was deemed untreatable due to his injuries, therefore Strange would not get credit for curing him as it was impossible.
Strange then revealed he was coming to Pangborn because he was looking for his own miracle, revealing that he had been in a car accident that crippled his hands. Taking pity for Strange's condition, Pangborn told him the story of how he met the Ancient One who cured him and revealed the location of Kamar-Taj despite his initial reluctance, warning him that his journey would come at a great cost, wishing him good luck in his new quest.[1]
